Chapter 12 The hostile blond guy was none other than Christinas good for nothing brother, Leroy Stevens


    Couldnt win fair and square, so youre resorting to threats ? Andrews expression remained nk,pletely unfazed by the life in Leroys hand.


    Irene snarled, Andrew, dont forget, youre nothing without Christie.


    She gave you everything for three years.


    How dare you do this to her ! Andrewughed at their audacity, his tone full of mockery.


    You should be asking what I gave her during those three years, not the other way around. Bullshit! Irene exploded.


    Youve been mooching off Christie


    What could you possibly have given her? Youve got nothing to your name, you shameless parasite ! Andrew scoffed, Is that so? If I recall correctly, negotiated several key contracts for Stevens Corporation


    And wasnt I the one who bailed your deadbeat son out of jail? Your family seems to have lost all sense of decency, Irene, flushed with anger, and embarrassment, You ungrateful bastard! Back then, you were with Christie


    It was just a small favor, and you think doing a few errands makes you special? Leroy cut in impatiently, Mom, stop wasting breath him.


    Let me teach him a lesson ! Then, he raised the knife threateningly.


    Ill give you onest chance.


    Are you handing over that property or not? Andrew replied coldly, The propertys no longer in my possession


    Im sorry, but I cant hand over what I dont have.


    Leroys face contorted with rage, veins bulging on his forehead.


    Yet, before he could act, Andrew continued, Besides, even if I did have it, why would I give it to you


    with this attitude? If youre here to ask for a favor, show some respect.


    If youre here to y tough guy, sorry, Im not interested in your games.


    With that, Andrew turned to leave, not sparing a nce at Leroy.


    Leroys eyes were bloodshot as he screamed, You bastard! Take one more step, I dare you! Youre not leaving until you sort this out! Irene sneered, hands on her hips, Andrew, youd better cooperate. You know Leroys temper.


    Who knows what might happen if you upset him? Andrews lip curled in disdain.


    Oh really? Id like to see him try.


    Without Christinas influence, Leroy was less than an insect in Andrews eyes.


    You asked for it! Leroy was furious as he swung the knife at Andrew.


    ious as he swung the knife at Andrew.


    3/3 Chapter 12


    With Christina as his sister, Leroy was used to throwing his weight around both at home and in public. No one dared to defy hlin.


    Meanwhile, eene had not expected Leroy to actually attack She cried out in panic, Leroy, stop! Youll kill him! Nheless, it was toote.


    Leroy snarled, Im going to make him bleed today.


    Not even God himself could stop me.


    Andrew swiftly dodged the knife, causing Leroy to miss his alm.


    Andrews eyes turned ice cold.


    Youre worse than an animal.


    Since Christina cant keep you in line, III teach you some manners in her stead! Immediately after, he pped Leroy so hard that t sent Leroy spinning, his head ringing.


    However, Andrew was not done.


    He continued to p Leroys face several times, followed by a powerful kick to the stomach.


    Leroy let out a pitiful wail, violently expelling the contents of his stomach.


    Irene stood frozen in shock.


    Seeing Leroy on the ground, his face swollen and barely recognizable, she quickly snapped out of it and rushed to his side


    Leroy! Leroy, are you okay? Doctor! We need a doctor here! she screamed.


    Andrews voice was cold as he replied, Im sorry, but our hospital doesnt treat trash like him.


    It was then that Irene remembered Andrew was a doctor himself.


    She red at him venomously.


    Andrew, you bastard, youll pay for this! Leroy is Christies brother


    Shell make you answer for this! Crying and yelling, Irene helped Leroy up and hurried off to find another hospital


    Andrews face remained expressionless as he entered Jayrodale General Hospital.


    He had actually held back.


    Otherwise, Leroy would not just have a swollen face he would have been dead.


    Before he reached his department, Lauren texted him.


    [Dr.


    Lloyd, care to join me for dinner tohight ? ] Andrew did not want to get too entangled with Lauren and simply replied, [ Sorry, Ms.


    Rhodes.


    Im busy tonight.


    ] Lauren sent back a devious emoji and texted, [ But Ive got some info on what youre looking for, Dr. Lloyd.


    Are you sure youre still busy? ] Andrew sighed.


    [Fine, Ill stop by tonight.


    ] Meanwhile, at the Rhodes family mansion, Lauren lounged in a revealing nightgown that left little to the imagination.


    Putting down her phone, sheughed mischievously.


    Oh, you sweet 2/2 Chapter 12 thing You wont escape my grasp that easily! After changing into his white coat, Andrew arrival at his office right on time.


    As he was about to open the door, he heard a womans desperate plea from inside.


    Dr.


    Philip, please dont do this! I I have a boyfriend! Andrew recognized the panicked voice as N Goth, a pretty nurse at the hospital.


    Like I give a damn about your boyfriend.


    Be a good girl and use that mouth, or III have you fired with one word.


    Dr.


    Philip, were at work! How can you ask such a thing? What if- What if someone sees? Do you think Im scared? My dads the deputy chief here.


    The Hackett family runs this ce.


    Now get on with it.


    N began to sob.


    Dr.


    Philip, Ive always respected you like an older brother.


    Why are you doing this to me? Please dont do this! You little slut, ying hard to get? If you really respect me, satisfy my needs.


    Make me happy, and III get my dad to promote you to head nurse.


    No, I cant ... A loud p echoed, followed by Ns cries.


    Andrews face turned grim, and he burst through the door.


    Inside, he found Philip with his pants around his knees, eyeing the tearful N with a sleazy gaze.


    Ns sweet face, usually adorned with dimples when she smiled, was streaked with tears. Seeing Andrew, she ran behind him.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, please help me! Andrews face was cold as ice as he addressed Philip.


    Pull up your pants, now! Philip sneered, unashamed.


    Make me.


    What are you going to do about it? Honestly, Andrew, Ive been sick of you for a long time.


    Sure, youre a hotshot doctor and Laurens pet.


    But at the end of the day, youre still a loser who relies on women.


    Without Christina or Lauren, youre nothing.


    I dare you toy a finger on me! Philips pants were still down as he red at Andrew smugly. Alright, Andrew replied coldly.


    If you wont pull them up, you wont need them anymore.


    In a sh, Andrew kicked at Philips groin


    There was a sickening crunch that could make anyones skin crawl.


    Philip immediately let out an agonized scream, his face turning an ugly shade of purple.


    He copsed to the ground, clutching himself in agony, his body convulsing as he foamed at the mouth. The nurse gasped in horror.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, did you just ... crush his ...
